Hash Checker & Rate Limiting Nullifier Templates for Circom

Building on our previous release that included a Semaphore template, we added more templates for Circom.

To get to these templates, go to the hamburger menu in the File Explorer and make a new workspace and in the modal that comes up choose

Now I realize Rate-Limiting Nullifier sounds like school yard epithet.

“You’re so boring!”
“Well you‘re a Rate-Limiting Nullifier”

But Rate Limiting Nullifiers are used for limiting the number of “something” that a user can do — for example the number of allowable post to a form and once that number is exceeded then the offending person’s identity is revealed. It’s used in Zero Knowledge Proofs and it gets at the algebraic nature of Circom. Check out these new templates!
